Today is ASCT + 365 – 1 year!

My transplant doc, Krishna, was ill and not able to make my appointment. Instead I met with Kate, one of his nurse practioners. I had some questions that she seemed to be able to answer well concerning my set of recent results. In short, I’m in remission! Praise be to God!

Whether I’ll be needing any other tests or what the schedule of follow up testing will be is to be determined. I meet with my regular hemotologist/oncologist, Warren, on Tuesday to start the process of working out a plan.

In the meantime, I feel great.

My only therapy post transplant has been curcumin phytosome which is curcumin complexed with phosphatidyl choline to make it bioavailable. It certainly is safe enough. I am happy to take this for the rest of my life if it means I don’t need chemo or transplant again.

This evening, I listed to a Cure Panel program on bone issues in myeloma. I learned that my experience of seeing my lytic lesions and plasma cytoma disappear in 6 months is rare. I can only attribute it to the power of prayer and God’s healing grace.

I’ll let you know more after my meeting with Warren.

My healing prayers go out for Wayne, Sylvia, Nicola, Ken, Joe, Berris, and Barbara.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for my healing.

Amen.
